A client’s machine installed with PHP 7.4 needs to be upgraded to PHP 8.0 sooner as the former is reaching “End of Life” support (until November 28, 2022). Here’s a link about it: https:\/\/www.php.net\/supported-versions.php<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the steps made to complete the upgrade procedure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1. On the client’s Amazon Linux 2 Virtual Machine, list the PHP versions available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[root@ip-172-31-84-24 html]# amazon-linux-extras |<\/mark><\/strong> <\/mark><\/strong>grep php<\/mark><\/strong>
42 php7.4=latest enabled [ =stable ]
_ php8.0 available [ =stable ]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. Disable php 7.4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[root@ip-172-31-84-24 html]# amazon-linux-extras disable php7.4<\/mark><\/strong>
Beware that disabling topics is not supported after they are installed.
. . . .
. . . .
42 php7.4 available [ =stable ]
. . . .
51 php8.0 available [ =stable ]
. . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. Check PHP list again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


[root@ip-172-31-84-24 html]# amazon-linux-extras |grep php<\/mark><\/strong>
42 php7.4 available [ =stable ]
51 php8.0 available [ =stable ]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. Enable PHP 8.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[root@ip-172-31-84-24 html]# amazon-linux-extras enable php8.0<\/mark><\/strong>
. . . .
41 postgresql11 available [ =11 =stable ]
_ php7.4 available [ =stable ]
. . . .
51 php8.0=latest enabled [ =stable ]
. . . .
Now you can install:
# yum clean metadata
# yum install php-cli php-pdo php-fpm php-mysqlnd<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5. Clean metadata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[root@ip-172-31-84-24 html]# yum clean metadata<\/mark><\/strong>

52 metadata files removed
20 sqlite files removed
0 metadata files removed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#6. Now check available php installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[root@ip-172-31-84-24 html]# yum info php<\/mark><\/strong>
